Advantages of Reading

As an intellectual thing, a book is prototypically a makeup of these great length that it takes a
substantial investment of time to compose and a still considerable, though not so comprehensive,
investment of time to browse. This feeling of publication has a restricted and an unrestricted sense.
In the limited sense, a book is a self explanatory section or portion of a longer article, a usage that
reflects the fact that, in antiquity, long works had to be written on several scrolls, and each scroll
had to be identified by the publication it included. So, for instance, each part of Aristotles Physics is
called a book. In the unrestricted sense, a publication is the compositional whole of which these
sections, whether called books or chapters or components, are components.

The academic material in a physical publication need not be a composition, nor even be called a
novel. Novels can consist just of drawings, engravings, or photographs, or such matters as
crossword puzzles or cut-out dolls. In a physical book, the pages can be left blank or may contain
an abstract set of outlines as support for continuing entries, e.g., an account book, an appointment
book, an autograph book, a laptop, a journal, or a sketchbook. Some bodily publications are
created out of pages thick and sturdy enough to encourage other physical items, like a record or
photograph album. Books may be distributed in electronic form as e-books and other formats.

Although in ordinary academic parlance a monograph is known to be a professional academic
work, rather than a reference work on a single scholarly topic, in library and information science
monograph denotes more broadly any non-serial publication complete in 1 volume (book) or a
finite number of volumes (a novel like Prousts seven-volume In Search of Lost Time), compared to
sequential books like a magazine, journal, or newspaper. Books can also be sold elsewhere.
Books may also be borrowed from libraries. Google has estimated that as of 2010, approximately
130,000,000 different titles were released. In some wealthier countries, the sale of published books
has diminished due to the increased usage of e-books.

In the 2000s, due to the growth in availability of cheap handheld computing devices, the
opportunity to share texts through electronic means became an attractive option for media
publishers. The expression e-book is a contraction of"electronic book"; it pertains to some book-
length book in digital form. An e-book is generally made accessible through the internet, but also
on CD-ROM and other forms. E-Books may be read either using a computing device with an LED
screen such as a conventional computer, a smartphone or a tablet computer; or by way of a mobile
e-ink screen device known as an e-book reader, such as the Sony Reader, Barnes & Noble Nook,
Kobo eReader, or even the Amazon Kindle. E-book readers attempt to mimic the experience of
reading a print book by using this technology, because the displays onto e-book readers are much
less reflective.
